Discipline Priest in Mythic+ in Midnight Season 2
If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our Midnight Mythic+ page below, or check out our Mythic+ Tier List if you're curious about the current Mythic+ Meta!
Best Mythic+ Talent Builds
Oracle Mythic+ Build
Voidweaver Mythic+ Build
Oracle Mythic+ Talents
This build is your primary build for Mythic+ content. This build focuses on
casting 
Penance on cooldown for throughput via 
Atonement,
while also providing procs of 
Void Shield. Running both
Eternal Barrier and 
Weal and Woe for stronger shields make
Void Shield a power house of a button each time it is cast. This allows the build
to give you a high amount of control over where your healing is going via
Penance targeting, Void Shield targeting, base Power Word: Shields, and
Shadow Mend.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the build directly into your game!
Voidweaver Mythic+ Talents
This build is an alternative build for Mythic+ content. Providing a
very strong amount of output with every 
Entropic Rift window
which you have access to very frequently. Additionally, you still have
Eternal Barrier talented, so your Void Shields still provide a solid
amount of output per cast. This builds largest weakness is mobility, due to
the sheer amount of time you need to spend casting 
Void Blast.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the build directly into your game!
In-Depth Rotation Tips for Mythic+
With Void Shield being such a large part of our total output
regardless of build, as well as our new tier set providing cooldown reduction
to 
Mind Blast on each Penance cast, it is absolutely
critical to be casting Penance on cooldown.
While you need to be utilizing Shadow Mend to assist in dealing with
single-target spot-healing requirements, swapping to spamming Shadow Mend too early
when you could have continued to rely on your core spells for longer is
one of the biggest reasons for Discipline Priests to run into Mana issues
in keys. Try to cycle through your other available spells as well as both of
your 
Pain Suppression charges first, before you start spamming
Shadow Mend.
Utility Kit and Abilities
Interrupts, Stuns, and Stops
Discipline Priest does not have access to an interrupt ability as is the cast for most healers.
Psychic Scream gives us the capability to fear a
group of enemies. This is our only form of AoE crowd control, so utilizing it
to interrupt or disrupt large groups of enemies makes it immensely valuable.
Shackle Horror provides a potential single target CC.
Always be on the lookout for Undead/Aberration enemies to utilize this crowd
control ability.
Dominate Mind grant us to capability to control an enemy for a
short period. In most cases, this does not provide significant value, but there
have been times in the past where dungeon or raid enemies had extremely
powerful spells we could cast by utilizing these abilities.
Other Utility
Dispel Magic allows us to dispel
buffs and effects off of enemy targets. This can be valuable in many
situations where the buffs on various enemies can make them either
significantly more threatening via damage increases or a lot harder to kill
via damage reductions.
Improved Purify alters our default magic dispel to also remove
Disease effects. How useful this is heavily relies on the content you are
doing, but in situations where there are disease effects being applied to
allies, this utility can have immense value.
Mass Dispel may be one of our most powerful pieces of utility. The
ability to remove magic debuffs from an entire group of allies or from a
group of enemies with a single cast is immensely powerful. Many mechanics
in both dungeons and raids have been trivialized by this spell over the
years, and it will likely remain to do so in the future.
Power Infusion is an immensely powerful spell available to us
in our talent tree. This ability allows us to provide a significant haste
buff to a single player on a two-minute cooldown, most often used on an
ally DPS player, especially when considering 
Twins of the Sun Priestess.
Power Word: Fortitude, while not the most interesting piece of
utility, is very valuable in many situations. Keep this buff active
on your group at all times.

Gearing for Mythic+
The primary difference you may see between Discipline Priests gearing for Raid content versus Mythic Plus content is that, often times, Discipline players may look towards prioritizing Versatility a bit more as a secondary stat due to the damage reduction provided.
This does come at the cost of some HPS as Versatility is our worst stat for actual healing contribution. This is something that is primarily only relevant for very high level keys and not something we recommend to be copied in the vast majority of cases.
